A. Component Method
Using the component method, calculate the resultant of the following three force
vectors:
Record the appropriate values in Data Table 1.
Find the magnitude and the direction of the resultant and call it R. In this
experiment, we will use the value of the mass in grams hanging from the end of a
string to represent the force in that string.
